This chapter provides a summary of a landmark study on cognitive disorders, specifically the assessment of safety and efficacy of pharmacologic treatments for delirium with neuroleptics versus benzodiazepines. What is the comparative efficacy and tolerability of haloperidol, chlorpromazine, and lorazepam for the treatment of the symptoms of delirium in the medically ill? Starting with that question, it describes the basics of the study, including funding, study location, who was studied, how many patients, study design, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.
